We are not "inviting" the general public in the sense that there will be any kind of area set up for the public to spectate. But we cannot keep people from watching from nearby public property. Our biggest concern in not inviting fans is that our waiver requires 3rd party people and property be at least 1500 feet from the flight, and we already have enough to do without worrying about crowd control, and about someone straying to close for a photo op or something.

On a related note, the SpaceVidCast people are hoping to be webcasting again like they did last year, so hopefully if that works out, everyone will be able to follow along online.

"flew over the site (7F3) yesterday and chatted with someone on the ground but i didn't get an approx time for the launch. i was planning to drive there and watch.is there an approximate time? notam says anywhere from 1000CDT - 2000CDT."

We saw you!

Approximately 9-11 am currently. But that could change...

Make sure you do not fly in, as a NOTAM will be in place. We will have the airstrips shut down over the day until we complete our operations.
